Steven Croman is the registered head officer of this Murray Hill property, which carries 20 active open violations.
Built in 1910, the property has a history of tenant complaints, including a simultaneous surge of calls across multiple categories this past February. With an infamous landlord holding the keys and active maintenance friction on paper, you will want to inspect things closely. Four things to know:
Steven Croman is registered as the building's head officer. Croman's rental portfolio has been a frequent subject of state investigations and tenant lawsuits over the years. Though day-to-day work is managed under a corporate name, knowing who controls the building gives you necessary context on who will be signing your lease and approving major repairs.
Residents logged a coordinated surge of complaints on a single day in February. On February 10, 2026, a cluster of complaints hit the pre-war property, highlighting issues with electrical wiring, broken floors, plumbing, peeling wall paint, mold, and safety systems. While these cases are marked closed, a sudden burst like this usually points to organized tenants banding together to force action on long-neglected problems.
Two indoor air quality calls suggest shared ventilation or moisture issues. Two air quality complaints were logged, including a report of unsafe mold cleanup on January 28, 2026. When fumes, moisture, or mold cleanup efforts spark complaints, it often means mold spores or chemical odors are bleeding between units via shared ventilation shafts or utility risers.
The building carries 20 open violations. Carrying 20 open violations on a mid-sized walk-up is a clear signal of deferred building maintenance. When standard repairs require an inspector's visit to get documented, it shows the landlord takes a reactive approach to building-wide upkeep.
